"Bush is very good at using other people as a vehicle to get things done."




Story of his life.

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/21/washington/21bush.html?ex=1303272000&en=5d45f3042f71ae0d&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss


Andrew H. Card Jr. stepped down as chief of staff last Friday. Karl Rove, the president's powerful political adviser who has been at his side since Mr. Bush entered politics, gave up day-to-day control over domestic policy on Wednesday, an announcement made shortly after Mr. McClellan stood next to Mr. Bush on the South Lawn and choked up as he announced his resignation.

Republicans close to the White House said Mr. Bush was the driver of the changes made so far, including the decision to ask Mr. Rove to focus primarily on the midterm elections.

"This is not Josh, this is Bush," said the Republican close to Mr. Bolten. "Bush is very good at using other people as a vehicle to get things done."

1. He delegates. That is his management style. It was while he was
Texas Gov and he said as much recently. He thinks it lets him off the hook in so many ways.

2. It's a glorified way of saying Bush does jack shit.

7. Sounds about right
The classic narcissistic personality -- or rather someone who basically stopped maturing emotionally at around the age of 3.

Sorta recognizes there are independent beings outside himself, but not that they're thinking, feeling human beings.

Sad.
